My journey as a single adoptive mom to two teenage boys who spent years in foster care and a toy dachshund puppy, a westie mix, and a shepherd mix. Some might consider our home a combination of homeless shelter, fraternity house, and humane society. I call it home.

Today is the one year anniversary of Middle Boy moving in. When I mentioned it he told me he had been meaning to ask me, because he knew it had to be soon. I am hoping we can have a peaceful day to celebrate.

Maybe we will start with a nice breakfast.

Praises for the past year. While it has certainly had its ups and downs it has been a blessing to me and has helped me grow in ways I didn't even know I needed to.
